Washed Ethiopian coffee from Bookkisha, a sub-kebele within Guji Zone. Sourced from a community micro lot of approximately 35 smallholder farmers delivering cherry to a central drying station managed by Sookoo Coffee. Varieties 74110 and 74112 grown at ~2,000 meters altitude. Tasting notes include black tea, berries, and melon with a bright, characteristic Ethiopian profile.
Karina and Marcus Luscher established Salto Coffee in 2012, roasting at 8,200 feet elevation in the mountain town of Nederland, Colorado. Karina is the primary force behind roasting operations, making Salto a woman run specialty roastery with a distinctly high altitude perspective on the craft. Production runs on a Diedrich IR 12 paired with Cropster software, and head roaster Rob Langone conducts origin trips to stay close to farming practices and sourcing decisions. Their lineup includes signature blends, seasonal single origins, and limited reserve lots, all roasted in small batches. Salto was a finalist for the 2024 MTPak Coffee Packaging Design Awards, with bag designs that draw on the mountain landscape surrounding the roastery.
